The Myth of an International Populist Uprising

11/02/2018

The Jewish
community of the United States will wait a long time to find a more
philo-Semitic president than this one, or a greater friend of Israel. The
demonstrations against him in Pittsburgh, grossly exaggerated by the
Trump-hating media, were a disgrace and perhaps a justification for his
untimely revival of references to the Fake News media as "enemies of the
people." In all of the circumstances, that is a tendentious assertion we
could do without and could be better said. This latest defamation of the
president will not fly with the country. Donald Trump has his shortcomings, but
any trace of bigotry or group bias is not among them, and the country knows it.
